Maria Shriver says she won't resume her TV news career, citing media coverage of the late Anna Nicole Smith.
Shriver, speaking Tuesday at a women's conference, noted the media circus surrounding Smith's accidental drug overdose death in February.

After two episodes, the musical tv show is canceled. I accidentally saw a second of it (that moment before you get the tv changed for the next show) and it was dreadful. Musical? Melanie Griffith?

The show starring Lloyd Owen as a small-time gambler caught up in a murder investigation drew mostly drew largely poor reviews.

More than 5,000 members of the Writers Guild of America cast ballots, with 90 percent voting in favor of authorizing the strike, the union said Friday evening. Members voted Thursday.
Since July, the guild has been in talks with film studios and production companies represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. Both sides acknowledge they have not made progress.
A key issue dividing producers and writers, as well as actors, whose contract expires next June, is compensation for DVD sales and productions that get distributed on the Internet or in other new media formats.
The writers' current three-year contract expires Oct. 31, and their vote gives the union's leaders authorization to call a strike anytime after that day.
Studios and TV networks have accelerated filming of shows and movies and begun stockpiling scripts in case of a strike.
The last strike in 1988 lasted 22 weeks. Losses to the industry were put at $500 million.

According to FOX, Kid Rock posted bail and was released Sunday evening from DeKalb County jail, signing autographs on his way out.

Ellen adopted a dog and then gave it away to her hairdresser. The dog adoption agency says you can't do that and took the dog back. My question is: Ellen has a hairdresser?




Poor Richie forgot his lines on SNL. Why didn't they give him cue cards? The guy's been through a lot. He went to rehab and was dating Denise Richards.
